34 Years Old, Six Kids and Engaged Getting Ready for my Wedding!! - Miami, FL

So my surgery was at 7:30 am. I had to be there by 6:30am. Once I got there, I was a nervous wreck, Im like omg what is it gonna be like when I wake up! I think I was more afraid of that than anything. The lady Giselle came and got me and had me put my ted hose on and gown which I did. The anesthesiologist had me pee in the cup, everything came back negative. Getting the I.V in was a little tricky as always but we got that going. Christy and Dr. Ghurani came in. Ghurani marked me up, and my fiance' was in the room telling Dr. Ghurani "make sure you make that booty fat" lol. They walked me to the O.R for surgery. It was cold as hell. The anesthesiologist had me sit on the table, Christy was with me. I got on the table laid down and the anesthesiologist was like bedtime you are gonna go to sleep now. Christy told me to stay calm in if I go to sleep calm I wake up calm. She said you are about to get your margarita and I was out. Seems like 4 seconds later I heard Christy say "wake up hun, you have a big butt" lol. I was shivering uncontrollably and it was driving me crazy. I kept telling myself to calm the hell down but I couldnt stop shaking.
My fiance' and I were staying at the marriot hotel right behind Dr. Ghurani's office (surgery was somewhere else) so the ride to the marriot was about 8 mins. We called a uber and I laid down in the back seat with chux I had my man bring. Where Ghurani's office is from the hotel we didnt need to rent a car because everything was in a 5 min walking distance so that was perfect. Grocery store, mall, Ghurani's office etc... I remember feeling so sore. The so so so so sore. My butt muscles were very sore like I did 4 million squats and my butt just felt "stuffed". Now its very sensitive to the the touch, other than that its just sore times 8 million. Lol like really.
You will leak this fluid from the lipo incisions. I didnt have drains so boy was it messy. I looked like I was in a fight with Michael Meyers and the blood was everywhere. A big big mess. It trailed to the bathroom just everywhere. My man was like omg, it was just alot. He use to be a stna (nurse assistant), so he took good care of me.
Getting comfortable is the damn worse. Its impossible. Very frustrating. The first night I peed like every hour, using my purple female urinal. (Very cheap got my supplies @barbierecovery on IG, and Diamond Recovery, I mixed and matched.)
I wasnt in alot of pain, I have a high pain tolerance but the soreness is just out of this world. I filled my prescriptions the day before at Publix grocery ( the grocery store is literally right across the street from the hotel we got there in about 3 mins walking). So i tool my pain meds as needed. I also had some tylenol because I watch the A&E show Intervention and I dont want to become addicted to anything lol. So I take tylenol more than mu pain meds. I maybe took my pain meds twice.
Those 5 days were very challenging. Laying down and getting back up is the damn worse. You are just so sore!! And super stiff. If you walk (which we did around the hotel, and walked to Ghurani's office for my first massage and pre-op visit) you start to fill better.
Yanza did my massage and she is hilarious. I was laying naked on the table waitinh for her and she came in, and lift my covering up and said "Omg you Kim Kardashian" me and my fiance laughed (and it hurts like hell to laugh).
The massage was painful but well need. The draining was a bit challenging. She told me to breathe I didnt even know I was holding my breath. The liquid was like hot salty lava it stung so damn bad!! On my second post op day when I went back to Yanza, she was about to start my surgery and im like "dont forget I love you" scared of the massage lol. She was like "I love you too but its gonna be more intense today lady". She wasnt lying. But you feel the difference immediately. Yanze told me tylenol extra strength muscle aches and pains, was the best tylenol to get. It works wonders.
The plane ride home was horrible, I was so uncomfortable I just kept saying please hurry plane, get me off this damn plane! I walked around the plane a little and a lady said "Baby, are you ok you look like you are about to throw up" Im like "No just had surgery im uncomfortable." I was so aggravated from not being able to get comfortable for the last 5 days that her talking to me annoyed me. Everything annoyed me. I can take pain but after a while, it made me just become mean, so I stayed quiet and didnt talk not even to my fiance'. He knows me so he just sat quietly, while I sat there on my make shift butt pillow (Thanks Christy! That I left at home smmh) mad like somebody stole my money. The longest 2.5 hrs of my life lol.

I love my outcome. He emptied all the fat out of my tummy which is exactly what I wanted. He listened and understood and was completely honest while still being a sweetheart. If I decide to go forward with a tummy tuck, I would go back to him in a heart beat. No thinking needed. I trust him and only him as a surgeon. I am so proud of my choice, and decision to let Dr. Ghurani bless me with those hands.
